This is simple division and multiplication. Just divide the miles per gallon by the gallon....330/15 to get the mpg rating, which would equal 22 average miles per gallon. As for how far it would travel on 10 gallons of gas, multiply your miles per gallon (22) by the number of gallons (10) and you come up with 220 miles.
